Asus To Build Google Play Android Tablet?

We have already heard a few rumors that a couple of different manufacturers are working on the first Google branded tablet, which was rumored to be called the Google Nexus tablet, although after some information that was revealed last week it looks like it will end up being called the Google Play tablet.

On the weekend we had confirmation that Android 5.0 would be called Android Jelly Bean, the new came from Asus, who are apparently working closely with Google on something.

It turns out that the project that Google and Asus are working on together, could very well be the first Google branded Android tablet, and there are more rumors that the device will come with a 7 inch display and feature a NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor.

The first Google branded tablet is rumored to be priced to compete with that of Amazon’s Kindle Fire Android tablet, and the device is expected to retail for around $199.
